This page is for Los Angeles homeowners who already have a Boral roof and want straight answers about repairing it properly, without the sales script. As an independent Boral service provider, we’re not authorized by the manufacturer, but we work on their tiles every week and know what fails, why, and what actually fixes it.

How Boral Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

Boral tiles, especially the concrete profiles popular across Los Angeles, are genuinely tough material. But tough doesn’t mean trouble-free. Here’s what we see on roofs from the Westside to the foothills:

• Boral Concrete Tile - Cracked or broken tiles from foot traffic. Boral’s concrete tile, including their flat and low-profile profiles used on mid-century ranch homes, doesn’t forgive a misplaced boot. The tile can crack clean through, and water finds the underlayment fast. We lift the surrounding tiles, replace the broken one with a matching profile, and reset the course so the next repair doesn’t have to happen. If we can’t source an exact color match for a discontinued Boral blend, we’ll tell you before we order anything.
• Boral Steel - Fastener back-out at the panel ribs. Boral’s stone-coated steel lines, like their Cape Cod and Mission profiles, rely on thousands of small fasteners. Over a decade of Los Angeles heat cycling, those fasteners can work loose just enough to let water sneak under the gasket. We re-torque or replace the fasteners at the leak point, check the surrounding ribs, and spot-seal only where needed. A full panel replacement is a last resort, and we’ll show you why before quoting it.
• Boral Clay Tile - Spalling and edge chipping from Santa Ana wind debris. Boral clay tile is beautiful and heavy, but the edges are vulnerable when palm fronds and branch litter get airborne. Chipped edges expose the softer clay core, which absorbs moisture and starts flaking. On clay tile roofs in neighborhoods like Hancock Park and Silver Lake, we replace chipped tiles and install a simple debris check on the next maintenance visit. The fix is small. Ignoring it isn’t.
• Boral Barrel Tile - Under-tile valley flashing failure. This one surprises homeowners because the tiles look fine. The valley flashing underneath Boral barrel tile eventually corrodes or lifts, especially in coastal air near Marina del Rey or Playa del Rey. Water runs under the tile, down the flashing, and into the ceiling. We remove the tiles along the valley, replace the flashing, and re-bed the tiles. The tiles themselves usually go right back on.
• Boral Flat Tile - Hyphen or ridge crack from thermal expansion. Los Angeles roofs bake. Boral flat tile expands and contracts, and over 20 or 30 summers, the ridge and hip tiles take the brunt. A hairline crack at the ridge lets moisture in every time the fog rolls through. We remove the cracked ridge pieces, inspect the mortar bed, and reset with fresh, flexible bedding that moves with the tile instead of fighting it.

Our Boral Roof Repair Process

Every Boral job follows the same path, whether it’s a single cracked tile in Echo Park or a valley leak in Encino:

1. 1
   You call and describe what you’re seeing. A live person answers, day or night. Tell us the leak location, any visible tile damage, and how long it’s been happening.
2. 2
   We schedule the inspection. Erik or a senior tech walks the roof, photographs what’s wrong, and checks the surrounding courses for related wear. Shoe covers and drop cloths from the moment we arrive.
3. 3
   We write the repair plan and price. You’ll see it in writing, in dollars, before any work starts. If Boral OEM tiles are available and make sense, we use them. If a quality aftermarket tile matches better for an older discontinued color, we explain the trade-off and let you decide.
4. 4
   We do the repair. Tiles are lifted carefully, the failed material is replaced, and we work while respecting your family’s quiet hours. If the dog needs to stay inside, we coordinate the door schedule with you.
5. 5
   We test the repair. Water test where it makes sense, visual inspection everywhere else. We won’t call it done until we’d be comfortable with our own kids sleeping under it.
6. 6
   Cleanup and photo. All debris cleared, every scrap of old flashing and broken tile off your property, and a photo of the completed cleanup before we leave. It’s part of the Cedarwell Care Promise, not an afterthought.
